I am hoping to get folks to quit shopping at Target because they sell these awful, dirty, FCUK EWE products at Marshall Field's here in Mpls. For any retailer here in the Heartland to spit on the morals and standards that most of us live by is just unbelievable. Target refuses to follow Federated who dropped this line of Degenerate cosmetics and tee shirts and other clothing after a week of protests from God fearing Christians all over the Midwest. Target says No, we will sell what we want. Well, we consumers who don't want our teen age grandchildren wearing FCUK EWE shirts around the neighborhood will Boycott Target.

His election was DIRECTLY due to his family fortune via the Dayton/Hudson/Target/Marshall-Fields empire. He spent millions of his own money on the campaign as he has done in the past for a minor post in Minnesota state government and a failed gubernatorial election.

I linked to their image which was a billboard for FCUK in San Francisco. Evidently they objected to the image being here and photoshopped the picture to read what it does now.

I cannot unlink the image, but maybe you want the admin moderator to remove it.

Protests and letter campaigns by him? I thought his thing was kool-aid?

HAs anyone actually seen any clothing with the word "FCUK" on it? I've seen the clothing/shoe/jewlry line by them, but nothing with anything remotely obscene on them - nothing with the mispelled F-word or anything...

Am I missing something?

I saw a whole shop devoted to this FCUK line about a year and a half ago in New Orleans. They had t-shirts, sweatshirts and other items in the window with that logo displayed quite prominently on the fronts of them. This was in the French Quarter, of course. It was the first I had heard of this stuff but now I hear about it quite a bit.

Rev. Jim Jones organized his followers in extensive letter-writing campaigns using fake names, making changes so they appeared to come from different people, posted from different post offices, etc. Sometimes, for exmaple, they would pretend to be KKK members and attack Jim in the most foul manner. Othertimes they sought support for politicians such as SF Mayor Willie.
